## Description

Gas condensate, drilling equipment and project freight set the tone at Uralsk Airport (IATA: URA; officially Mänşük Mämetova Oral International), serving the oil-and-gas economy of West Kazakhstan. It serves the city of Oral and nearby Aksai, the operational base for the giant Karachaganak field run by an international consortium. A new terminal opened in 2022, raising passenger and cargo capacity, and since 2023 the airport has been run by the private Oral Airport Holding. A dedicated cargo facility receives, sorts and dispatches freight, tilted toward energy-related and project shipments and supported by customs clearance on international and domestic services. Road and rail link Oral to the Russian border area and the Volga region. For heavy or highly time-critical full freight Almaty (ALA) stays the country's largest cargo airport, yet energy-sector consignments often clear through URA directly.
